Travel to and around France could be disrupted today as French public sector workers go on strike.

The strike is due to last until 08.00 local time on Wednesday. The Foreign Office advises travellers to France to check with their airlines and tour operators for information on delays before they leave.

Eurostar said in a statement: “Eurostar services are not affected and are expected to run as normal.

“Eurostar customers making a connecting journey and who are impacted by the industrial action have the option of exchanging their tickets for an alternative date.”

Easyjet warned of possible disruption to services, but that it would be unlikely to encounter major problems.

The airline said in a statement: “While details still remain unclear, the risk of disruption to Easyjet services is expected to be relatively low”.

“There also remains some risk of delay to our services that over-fly French airspace during September 10.”

In France, most TGV services will run as normal but some regional trains may be affected.
